...valiant taxi-driver (Gene Kelly) who rushes at the priest's killers with his bare fists, takes everything his torturers can give him in solitary confinement-and utterly loses his courage. The Spaniard (Joseph Calleia), the only prisoner who is politically as sophisticated as the Nazis, is cold-blooded in his preference that the broken taxi-driver should die rather than return to infect his comrades with despair. The young bourgeois lawyer (Jean Pierre Aumont) is horrified when his fellows plot to kill the wine-merchant without a trial, yet he succeeds him as a trusty. He manages...
...doings of 1) Veronica Lake-with-her-hair-up, who is playing Madvig for a sucker but has a glad eye for Friend Beaumont; 2) her father, a corrupt politician, Madvig's candidate for governor; 3) her playboy brother, who gets murdered; 4) a gelid gambling boss (Joseph Calleia) who tries to pin the murder on Madvig...
Sabu, who returns to his native village and his true mother after his wolfish education is ended, learns how to run with the man pack in no time at all. Buldeo (Joseph Calleia), the hunter, sells him a "tooth" (a long-bladed knife), and he polishes off Shere Khan.

But there is no lack of action. Mae West, as the siren Flower Belle of Last Gasp Saloon, stages a fake marriage with Guthbert J. Twillie, in order to become a "decent lady," and then floors fidelity...
...highly staminate Flower Belle, Mae West spreads her gorgeous corolla (including a butterfly bow that coyly punctuates her posterior rhythms) in Greasewood City, one of the West's wide-open places. There she gets mixed up with a Masked Bandit, who turns out to be Joseph Calleia disguised as a cagoulard. Flower Belle's throaty account of their first meeting: "I was in a tight spot, but I managed to wiggle out of it." She also fakes a marriage with Cuthbert J. Twillie (W. C. Fields) because she thinks his bag of fake money is real, substitutes...
